500W PA amplifier with Limiter

B500 is based on B250 with add one more pair of outputs and limiter circuit, just use schematic and pcb of B500 with 3 pair outputs and +/-65V rail you get B250.
Regards

Dear Sir Apexaudio,

To get B250, I will remove (left it blank) a pair of 5200/1943 and two resistors (0R33 5W). Please see attachment. Am I right?

Please Guide me.

Kind Regards

Limiter activate amp output voltage at clip level (or low if you want limit amp under full power) and it atenuate amp input. Clip level voltage is about 5-15V under rail voltage ( rail voltage +/-75V DC, clip level about 65V).
You can adjust limit level with different value of resistors 820R to get 2V in point 820R, 68R whan amp out is on clip level voltage.
Use formula: Rx=Uclip/0,03 or Uclip=0,03XRx
Rx is 3280R (4x820R) in schematic, Uclip is 100V this clip level is for APEX H900 you must use low value for Rx depend of rail voltage or if you want limit amp at low than full power power use formula P=(UrmsXUrms)/Rload, Urms=Uclip/1,4
